If you've pre-ordered something in the past, this pre-order usually guarantees your spot in line when awaiting a new product. Apparently that is not the case with Oculus Rift as a "small number of rifts" will be available through Microsoft , Best Buy and Amazon from May 6th and May 7th.

This may be good news for gamers who did not pre-order and wish to get their hands on the long anticipated Oculus Rift. However, to fans who have already pre-ordered the Rift, this is quite the low blow. Imagine paying full price in advance for a product, only to told to wait while another customer who did not previously order gets his Rift first.

Not only that, but lucky customers who get their hands on a retail Rift, will be able to put it on Ebay for double the price! We hope Oculus doesn't mishandle their stock again in the future. Let there be Rift's for all.
